Where the silviculturist is active, forests grow. I graduated from Lubyanskiy Forestry Enterprise College in 1994, I got a profession of a forestry technician (today it is a forest master). In 1994 I began working in the Prigorodnyi forestry enterprise as an Engineer for forest preservation and protection, then as a Chief Engineer, I grew up to the Head of the lease relations department of the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan. The well-known Russian silviculturist G.F. Morozov once said: "If there were no forests, and humanity needed wood, then people would have invented the forest. Obviously, in such form as it exists in nature". But the forest requires care and protection. And masters and engineers of forestry are engaged in such activities. I hope that in the future someone of you will become our colleagues - foresters,"said F. F. Ahmadullin.
